How To Determine the Valve Configuration
73
Example
Suppose you need to flow boron trichloride at a rate of 250 sccm and the inlet pressure is 20 psia.
Your process runs at atmospheric pressure, so the differential pressure is 5 psid.
1. Determine the maximum flow factor (Cv) for the gas of interest, using the equation listed
in step 1, on page 71.
The Gas Density for boron trichloride, listed in Appendix C: Gas Correction Factors, page
65, is 5.227. The Cv Pressure Factor, read from Table 12, page 71, for a 20 psia inlet
and 5 psid differential pressure, is 0.373. Therefore, our equation becomes:
C

(max) = 250 sccm

Cv =187.5
2. Select the valve configuration with a Cv value that is closest to, though larger than, the
Cv value calculated in step 1.
A Cv value of 187.5 falls between 122.11 (configuration 6) and 244.22 (configuration 7).
To ensure that the unit can deliver the 250 sccm flow, choose configuration 7.
